Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2895-1
February 18, 2016
oxide-qt vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 15.10
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in Oxide.
Software Description:
- oxide-qt: Web browser engine library for Qt (QML plugin)
Details:
The DOM implementation in Chromium did not properly restrict frame-attach
operations from occurring during or after frame-detach operations. If a
user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker
could potentially exploit this to bypass same-origin restrictions.
(CVE-2016-1623)
An integer underflow was discovered in Brotli. If a user were tricked in
to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially
exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the
program. (CVE-2016-1624)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 15.10:
liboxideqtcore0 1.12.6-0ubuntu0.15.10.1
